I came to the WH with President Trump, who is preparing for a press conference to brief reporters. We hope to have more answers soon. A few of us are waiting in the briefing room. Thank God he, the First Lady, and everyone who was attending the WHCD was safe.

I was not at the dinner this year...but man am I proud of all the journalists who went from having a drink and socializing to reporting without hestitation. Amazing journalism is taking place tonight - on traditionally a night in which so many journalists take the night off.

This was so well done -- Tom @LlamasNBC's closing thoughts on Thursday's 'NBC Nightly News' about Savannah Guthrie's first extended comments about her mother Nancy's kidnapping... "Before we say good night, some thoughts on our friend Savannah Guthrie: The last 54 days have been tough around here, but nothing like what it's been for Savannah and her family. Tonight, we saw that raw emotion pour out in her conversation with Hoda. If it was tough to watch, you're not alone. It was tough for all of us. And even tougher for her. You may have never met Savannah, but you feel for her because you actually do know her. She's the same person in real life as she is on TV. And for years, you have trusted her to tell those stories impacting America. And right now, she's telling the hardest story of her life. And to be so open about her grief, her fear, and her hope at such a vulnerable time should remind you why you stayed with her for so long. And it's because she is just like all of us." "Many of you have sent me messages or stopped me in the street to say, 'please tell Savannah we are thinking of her.' Savannah knows there are armies of families praying and thinking about her mom, and as you heard her say tonight, her faith is ever strong." "So we end tonight like we started this journey 54 days ago: If you have any information, please, please call the FBI tipline. The number is on your screen. There are people working to take your call. There is a reward, but most importantly, it is the right thing to do."
